Certificate requirements#

See Certificate Requirements for certificate requirements in Edge Orchestrator.

Supported AWS regions#

Edge Orchestrator must be installed to an AWS Region with at least three Availability Zones*.

You can use an AWS Region map that lists Availability Zones per region to verify that the AWS Region you plan to install to has a minimum of three Availability Zones.

The Edge Orchestrator installer will verify that the selected AWS Region has at least three Availability Zones and error out if the requirement is not met.
